    3d object simplification program - is there such a thing?

    I have a customer who is importing 3D objects from one of
    his customers, 3DS files, but the level of complexity is
    far beyond what he needs. A sphere is about 1000 faces
    wheras what he requires is a sphere of only 100 faces
    (for example).

    Is there a program which will run inside AutoCAD 14,
    or on a dxf maybe, which will simplify these complex
    models.

    They are all polygon or polyface meshes by the way.

    TIA

    Maybe the model shows some difficulties resp. nvalid meshes??

    If you have access to 3DS check for a reduction function too.

    I have had experience exporting Acad to 3ds, but not going the other
    way. When exporting Acad to 3ds, you must adjust the facetres
    variable to a lower number before 3dsout. Might work the same with
    3dsin, adjust facetres then save as DWG.

    But the program should not crash!
    Thanks for the tip. :)

    We recieve ready made dxf files, already meshed, so I doubt that
    3DSIN or 3DSOUT can help us.

    Thanks for the tip though :)
